<![CDATA[The Bidayuh community in Sarawak is known for its rich cultural heritage and traditional interior designs that reflect deep connections with nature. However, globalization and modernization pose significant threats to the preservation of these unique cultural elements. Traditional Bidayuh interiors are increasingly at risk of being overshadowed by contemporary designs that often neglect the cultural and aesthetic values inherent in biomorphic elements. This research identifies key biomorphic elements in traditional Bidayuh interiors, such as natural motifs, organic shapes, and traditional materials, and explores their integration into contemporary design to ensure cultural continuity. A qualitative research approach involves analyzing and find out the elements of Bidayuh cultural interior and develop aspect of biomorphic design through visual documentation and architectural analysis to provided guidelines for designers to sustain the legacy of Bidayuh cultural. The findings highlight the adaptability of biomorphic elements in modern interiors, demonstrating that traditional aesthetics can coexist with contemporary design without compromising cultural integrity. This culturally responsive approach fosters cultural pride and continuity among the Bidayuh people, offering a pathway to maintain their unique heritage amidst modern changes. The study provides a framework for designers and cultural practitioners to collaborate in preserving the Bidayuh cultural legacy for future generations.]]>

<![CDATA[Proverbs is a folklore known as oral tradition and has been handed down orally from generation to generation. Proverbs are vital in Malay culture, regulating people's lives and containing history, advice, life lessons and education. Due to the passage of proverbs orally in past years, the main issue in this paper is to make people with hearing impairment feel included and better understand the meaning behind Malay Proverbs. This paper emphasises the potential of immersive installation to bridge the gap, ensuring accessibility for all users and fostering greater community engagement while appreciating Malay Proverbs. Immersive installations often include noise elements, tactile experiences, vibrations, and scents. This research has two objectives: (1) to examine that proverbs are effectively communicated and understood by hearing-impaired individuals through immersive technology and (2) to analyse space design principles for the hearing-impaired community. This study's research method is a qualitative study that identifies the aims and suggestions based on data acquired from literature reviews, gaps in the literature, case studies, and observations. Through this research, it may contribute to the development of inclusive and accessible environments for the hearing impaired while also advancing the understanding of Malay Proverbs.]]>

<![CDATA[Architecture syncretism involves the fusion of architectural elements from distinct cultures, combination between Siamese and Kelantanese stands out prominently. This research investigates Siamese influences, analysing their cultural meanings and implications on Kelantanese interior design. Siamese cultures managed to become the dominant influences in Kelantanese's life, although Siamese accounting only 1.18 per cent of the population. The arrival of Chinese traders intermarried with the Siamese led to the Peranakan Chinese community's development, resulting in more Chinese Siamese in Malaysia. Siamese culture assimilated with Malay culture creates unique, artistic, and architectural elements. However, modernization is causing these influences to fade, highlights the importance of studying Siamese elements in traditional Kelantanese interior design to preserve this culture and foster cross-cultural appreciation. The conceptual framework established focuses on the acculturated interior, aims to bridge the research gap in the field. This research utilised qualitative methods, comprising grounded theory, case studies, and simple ethnographic analysis. The findings reveal Istana Jahar in Kota Bharu has the most conspicuous syncretism between Siam and Kelantan in terms of architectural style in interior design, shaped by historical events between the Kelantanese and the rulers, including the kingdom of Siam and the colonial forces with the literature supports.]]>

<![CDATA[In the field of interior design, creating inclusive and engaging spaces is crucial. Universal Design (UD) and multisensory are supportive approaches that can work together to achieve this, however there is a lack of studies on the importance of universal design within the Malaysian interior design industry and its relationship with multisensory in buildings. UD emphasizes building environments that are practical and accessible to everyone, while multisensory highlights the significance of engaging all senses according to the principles of sensory design. Hence, the impact of multisensory on universal design in creating inclusive and accessible interior design will be discussed in this research. While compassionate design practices mediate the relationship between the principles of universal design and the principles of sensory design, this study has two objectives: To identify the necessity of implementing universal design in different types of buildings; and, to investigate the interaction between multisensory and universal design to promote compassionate design practices. Data was gathered through questionnaires given to people in the built environment industry. It is expected that different types of buildings have varying priorities for sensory aspects, and the integration of UD and multisensory design is both important and impactful.]]>

<![CDATA[EyeSight is one of the important senses for us to keep in touch with our surroundings. People with visual impairment always rely on their sensory perception to interact with spatial environments. Textured surfaces can be used to create a sense of movement. And yet, visual impairment poses significant challenges to spatial perception and navigation. Hence, there remains a gap in understanding the standard exploration of spatial qualities to evaluate the efficiency of textures in enhancing spatial perception. The research methodology involves qualitative methods by researching the case studies and interview sessions with visually impaired people and the staff from the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB). Research findings throughout the study highlight the importance of texture characteristics in facilitating spatial perception. It explores the interaction between tactile textures and sensory modalities for visually impaired people. This research aims to investigate the utility of textures in the interior in enhancing spatial perception for visually impaired people. Also, this research explores the application of varied textures to be used in the interior for visually impaired people. The findings are important for determining the best texture for the enhancement of spatial perception for visually impaired people.]]>

<![CDATA[In the built environment, recycling can be practiced through a method known as "Adaptive Reuse" (AR). AR is an alternative to “recycling the existing structure”, which significantly reduce the pollution and greenhouse gas generated during construction, seen from sustainable development aspects. It could be a strategy to achieve sustainable development goal, which repurpose a abandoned building based on the pubic demand. It is worth noting that the architectural aspects of a building are influencing the adaptive reuse decision, but the lack of previous studies cast a doubt on such transformation. This study examines the feasibility of converting a sales gallery in Penang into a hawker centre, with a primary objective, which is to explore the perceptions of related practitioners about the AR feasibility transforming sales gallery into indoor hawker centre on architectural aspects. The qualitative primary data of the research will be gathered through case study interviews with practitioners from diverse field related to build environment or food and beverage interior design expertise. Their perspectives on repurposing the chosen case study into a hawker centre, addressing site context and architectural aspects will be revealed through qualitative findings.]]>

<![CDATA[Nowadays, students spend more time inside, and their exposure to artificial light increases. This light regulates circadian rhythm, an essential element for improving the environment and providing better illumination. Nevertheless, inadequate artificial lighting settings with improper illumination spectrum and colour temperature may disturb the circadian rhythm and impact sleeping habits. Researchers need to examine artificial lighting sources based on light fundamentals in order to enhance sleep quality, particularly for individuals who keep lights on while sleeping. To improve sleep quality, researchers must analyse artificial lighting sources based on light fundamentals, and lighting product current. The study aims to optimise artificial lighting environments for individuals with sleep disorders, specifically targeting Universiti Sains Malaysia students' sleep habits during university. It investigates whether light fundamentals affect psychological and scientific health aspects. A review of literature investigates appropriate artificial lighting for treating sleep disorders, with a focus on explaining the circadian rhythm and applying the right spectrum, offering important information. The researcher's final argument asserts that the quality of sleep can be enhanced by proper lighting design, especially for those suffering from insomnia. Adequate lighting, with proper lux levels, can improve sleep by establishing a suitable atmosphere, leading to improved overall health and well-being.]]>
